While much of the focus for the T'au army is on their shiny vehicles and flashy guns, there's also the very low-tech allies, the Kroot, that they bring with them into battle. In this preview, we get a look at some of the rules they'll have in the new T'au codex coming to pre-order soon.

From the article:

Since the earliest days of their empire, the T’au have called upon alien auxiliaries to fight alongside the Fire Caste. First among their allies are the Kroot, a mercenary race of carnivorous avian hunters, and the new Codex: T’au Empire – available to pre-order this weekend – gives them a bunch of beastly upgrades.

Kroot are tall, wiry warriors with the speed of a sprinter and the power of a heavyweight boxer. They wield their distinctive double-bladed Kroot rifles with quicksilver reflexes before carving up their prey for a spot of post-battle supper.

When you're breaking on through to The Other Side, being on top of a giant lizard-thing would make it much easier. And that's just how Takiyasha heads into battle. Check out this new Commander for The Other Side in this preview.

From the article:

Hey Wyrdos,

This week, Waldo tried to apologize for locking us in the office with a small mountain of snow last week by scraping the ice off our cars (or so he said). But it’s been warm since then, so there was no ice to speak of. Nevertheless, Waldo was eager to take all the credit.

So, while we thank him for all his hard work, let’s take a look at an upcoming Commander for the Kimon in The Other Side: Takiyasha!

And the thunder rooooooooad and the lightning striiiiiike. Ok, I know that's not the lyrics, but it's all I could think of. Classic board game Thunder Road is up on Kickstarter with Thunder Road: Vandetta. Grab your keys and make sure your guns are loaded. It's rough out there in the desert.

From the campaign:

 In 1986, Thunder Road unleashed carnage. Today we’re bringing back this dusty, blood-spattered tribute to post-apocalyptic mayhem — with a thorough redesign from David Chalker and Brett Myers and a fresh coat of paint from artist Marie Bergeron. Run. Gun. Survive. The rest are details.

THUNDER ROAD VENDETTA is a game of fast turns, high interaction, and dicey decisions. Your crew will drive through perilous roads, dodge hazards, slam into other cars, and fire those guns. Or, when all else fails, CALL IN THE CHOPPER!

The campaign's up and over its funding goal with 13 days left to go.

Zombies, zombies everywhere and... not a drop to... drink? I don't know. That one fell apart quick... like a rally old zombie! Nailed the landing. Anyway, if you're looking to add more undead fun to your RPGs, check out Architects of the Deep: Book of Zombies. As it says on the cover, it's a monster manual all about adding more zombies to your games.

From the campaign:

No one can argue that what we all want is more zombies we can use in our TTRPGs! The roaming undead can be a frightening enemy for any adventurer. Of course, the selection of Zombies in the 5e setting is... shall we say... limited. 

That's where our book comes in!

How would you like to have 50 new zombie variants of all different challenge ratings that you can use to really mess with your players? Each one is designed using 5e's rules and brings about new variety for your adventures.

The campaign's up and over its funding goal with 12 days left to go.

The Avatar of Khaine has been a staple of Eldar armies since there have been Eldar armies. And with the entire faction getting a bit of a facelift, this iconic mini is getting one as well. Get a look at the new mini in this preview.

From the article:

Some of you may have noticed that the gigantic new Avatar of Khaine has woken from his slumber a little early. Who knew that a rage-fuelled construct of molten metal could be so feisty?

This incandescent entity has so far only been glimpsed by crummy cameras that were not meant to contain his godlike glory, but thankfully the photo wizards at Warhammer Community have been able to capture him at his blazing best.

There are plenty of other Aeldari secrets still to reveal – not to mention a gargantuan slate of other announcements. So join us on the Las Vegas Open livestream tomorrow on the Warhammer Twitch channel at 10pm PST on Thursday the 27th of January (that’s 6am GMT on Friday the 28th). 

You can also catch up on it all immediately afterwards on the Warhammer Community site for all the reveals – including many more pictures of this red-hot hunk of doom. We promise they’ll be taken on proper cameras.
